Abstract

This project was carried out to develop a Mini Vacuum Tesla Coil (VTTC) using high voltage transformer transformer based on the DC high voltage conservation with input range 8000VDc. A Tesla Coil is a specially designed transformer, technically termed an "air-core resonant transformer". It consists of a primary winding, with relatively few turns, and a secondary winding with hundreds, or even thousands, of turns. As with all transformers, the primary and secondary windings are physically arranged so that electrical energy may be transferred between them by transformer action - a changing current flowing in one winding induces a changing voltage in the other. The Tesla transformer is an electrical device capable of developing high potentials ranging from a few hundreds of kilovolts up to several megavolts; the voltage is produced as AC, with a typical frequency of 50 - 400 kHz This project is done by using special electronic parts which is 4000V 30MA current ltd open core transformer and .01 MFD 10KVAC polypropylene high current pulse capacitors..It will cause a gas discharge lamp, to glow up to a distance of several feet from the unit. The high voltage output coil terminal can actually be touched with a piece of metal held securely in the demonstrator’s hand, creating quite a conversation piece. Three element is going to be analyzed in this project are the voltage regulator circuit, arc sparking and the analysis of the transformer output.
